Am I wrong to decline both seasonal and H1N1 jabs? Am in high risk group (Type 1 diabetes) and have never suffered from colds/flus in general and other members of my family that have had the seasonal jab in the past and were similar to me in not suffering then went on to spend every winter sniffling, coughing and sneezing.

Well I'd say yes, although I am wholly unqualified to make such an assessment. Why would the fact that you have never had the 'flu (the cold is a totally different virus) mean that you won't get this 'flu? It is highly unlikely that you have any immunity to this variant of the virus. Whilst it is true to say that in most people who contract the 'flu will be fine some do die and it is those people with underlying conditions that are likely to suffer more.

This 'flu vaccine is as safe as all the others and has gone through the same amount of testing that the 'flu vaccine normally goes through. Were I to be offered it, which is unlikely given my personal circumstances, then I'd take it.
